Riley1965 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) I am trying to help an individual ID his badge. Can someone confirm that I have a badge from the Russian (pre-WW1) 93rd Infantry Regiment pictured here. The Russian words on it say 93rd Infantry and Siberia. My meager research tells me it is the 93rd HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS GRAND DUKE MICHALE ALEKSNDROVICH'S IRKUTSK INFANTRY REGIMENT of the 24th Infantry Division, which at one point had its HQS in Pskov.

Chuck In Oregon Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi MikeI found that badge in Avers-5, page 97, item 137. According to that is is the badge for "193-й пехотный Свияжный полк". It appears to be a 200-year badge, of course.So, the 193rd ___ Infantry Regiment. I'm stuck on the word "Свияжный". It's the adjective form of "Свияж" which I think is the name of a city in the Volga region, but I'm not sure. If you google it you will get a bunch of hits in Russian. The one thing I'm pretty sure it isn't is "Siberia(n)".That's a pretty nice regimental badge your friend has.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
